The rollout of AI mode in search is a significant step forward, allowing for a better user experience by ensuring that responses are trustworthy, accurate, and helpful while managing latency effectively.

Google's new AI mode allows for more complex queries and is a significant shift in their search capabilities, aiming to enhance user experience.

The integration of AI in search aims to improve user engagement by providing more relevant and contextual information.

Early adopters of technology often signal future trends, and now we see a shift where users are increasingly relying on AI tools like ChatGPT instead of traditional search engines.

AI excels at semantic search, allowing it to find relevant information from arbitrary text, which was challenging before.

Many people mistakenly believe that large language models will replace search engines, but this transition will be challenging due to the unique functions that search engines perform.

Deep research is capable of handling complex queries that traditional search methods struggle with, such as finding specific markets based on multiple constraints.

We transitioned from a Twitter search demo to building Perplexity by recognizing the potential for a more general solution that could index various databases.

AI tools like Google and ChatGPT have improved our ability to discern truth by revealing algorithmic manipulations.
